Changing a Non-CN Identifier During Rename

Problem

How can you change an object identifier other than the CN during a rename operation? Let's say that you want the uniqueID attribute of the user object-Class populated by the CN, and the object gets renamed in your connected application.

In this specific case I wanted to update the uniqueID attribute and set a new IDM association when the user got renamed. I set a new IDM association because it was based on the source-dn.

Solution

The answer to this question is in the following policy, which, again, shows how easy it is to implement policy rules with Novell IDM.
